THE STORY 
of the 
LATE PRINCESS LWOFF-PARLAGHY 
WHOSE ART COLLECTION IS TO BE SOLD 


at 


THE ANDERSON GALLERIES 


By Frepericx M. Dettius 


Late secretary to the Princess Lwoff-Parlaghy 


7 


Princess Elisabeth Lwoff, née Parlaghy, was born at Hadjn Dorog, 
Hungary. As a child she showed a special fondness for music and 
painting, but she soon realized that the latter was her true vocation, 
and with her parents’ consent and encouragement she began to spe- 
cialize, working under the best Hungarian masters. At the age of four- 
teen she was taken to Munich, in the hope that the great Lenbach 
would accept her as a pupil. But the Master was irritable and un- 
pleasant at the interview; he did not like the presumption that asked 
him to take a mere slip of a girl as a pupil. His disapproval was so 
evident that the girl began to cry, begging him to give her some test 
that would enable her to show what she could do. At last Lenbach 
relented, and pointing to one of his pictures told her to take it away 
and copy it exactly—of course an impossible task, he imagined, for a 
child of her age. 

In two weeks she came back with her copy, and put it quietly on 
the floor, resting against the easel. Her mother, with the original, 
waited in another room. The Master looked at the copy, complete 
even to his signature, and shrugged his shoulders. She had given up 
the attempt, as he expected, and brought his picture back. . . . He 
reproached her with wasting his time: he had other things to do than 
humor a wayward child who would not even try to complete the task 


she had begged for. 


To his profound astonishment, her mother now came in with the 
original picture. The Master saw that he had made an extraordinary 
mistake. The child was a genius, and he at once welcomed her as his 
pupil. 

Later the Princess travelled extensively in Holland, Germany, Italy 
and Spain. Her first laurels were gained by a remarkable portrait of 
Kossuth, the famous Hungarian patriot. The painting was exhibited 
in Turin, and then taken to Berlin, where it attracted keen attention. 
It is now in the Museum at Budapest. The artist was only fifteen 
years old, but she had made her mark unmistakably and won her ners 
among the leading portrait painters of the world. 

It would be difficult to enumerate all the distinguished personages 
who sat for her in the ensuing years—such celebrities as King Edward 
of England, King Christian of Denmark, the German Emperor, the 
Czar and Czarina of Russia, the Empress Eugénie, King Leopold of 
Belgium, King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, Queen Elizabeth 
of Rumania (Carmen Sylva), King William of Wiirttemberg, King 


Alexander and King Peter of Serbia, Queen Margherita of Italy, King 


Ferdinand of Bulgaria, the Shah of Persia, Clemenceau, Bismarck, 
Crispi, Caprivi, Moltke, and many others—rulers, statesmen, scien- 
tists, financiers. 

The Princess received many decorations, including the most ree 
in Europe. With several of them, she was the only woman upon whom 
they had ever been conferred. Her distinctions included the Palms 
and Laurels of the Académie, Paris; the French Gold Salon Medal; 
the Great Chicago Gold Medal; the Great Gold Papal Medal; the 
Prussian Gold State Medal; the German Great Gold State Medal, and 
countless others. She was an Officer of the French Academy, a mem- 
ber of the Order of Holy Savoy, the Persian Order of the Lion, etc., etc. 


Her American activities included portraits of August Belmont, 


John Burroughs, Andrew Carnegie, Charles F. Chandler, William H. 


Child, Joseph H. Choate, William C. Church, Robert W. De Forest 


(President of the Metropolitan Museum), Chauncey M. Depew, 


Admiral Dewey, Thomas A. Edison, Daniel C. French, General George - 


W. Goethals, Ben Ali Haggin, Myron T. Herrick, Seth Low, Percival 
Lowell, Edwin Markham, Henry Fairfield Osborn, Alton B. Parker, 


General Horace Porter, Ogden Mills Reid, Whitelaw Reid, Theodore 


Roosevelt, General Daniel E. Sickles, Admiral Sigsbee, H. H. 


Topakyan, Nicola Tesla, General Benjamin Tracy, General James 


Grant Wilson, and other celebrities.

The Princess was a great friend of animals (especially dogs), and 
was Honorary Patron of many societies devoted to their welfare. 
Naturally, she was a strong opponent of vivisection. 

She was a discriminating collector of antiquities, especially Gothic 
tapestries and rare velvets and rugs. Many of the crowned heads and 
other prominent personages with whom she came into contact were glad 
to add to her collection. 

In 1903 she painted the portrait of Ali Aska Khan, Grand Vizier 
of Persia, and one of the greatest men Persia ever produced. He was 
so delighted with the portrait that he gave the Princess one of his 
rarest rugs, woven in the first years of the Seventeenth Century for 
Shah Abbas—a splendid Kashan silk throne rug. 

In her work in America, the Princess performed a real service for 
both the New World and the Old. Except in a few instances, repre- 
sentative Americans were not familiar to Europeans. It was her idea 
that copies of her album of crayons of our famous men would find 
their way to the leading libraries and museums across the water, and 
help to promote mutual understanding. 

The Princess died at her residence at 109 East 39th Street, 
New York, on August 28, 1923.

ground. Very fine knotting. Silver overcast on the sides. This 

rug is accompanied by a certificate copied after a statement of 

Professor Abraham Yohannan, Professor of Oriental Languages, 

Indo-Iranian Department, Columbia University. This certificate 

will be handed over to the purchaser. The inscription reads ac- 

cording to the certificate: 

“The gift and the glorious Shah match perfectly, 

As the Sun fits the vault of Heaven, as the rose the goblet, and 
the diadem the throne, 

Throughout the Eastern land it is well known, 

That this is the product of forty years of study of the art. 

The date is equivalent to ‘Bagdad’. 

Consequently, its value cannot be overestimated.” 


19 


189 


190 


191 


192 


193 


194 


According to the certificate the word “Bagdad” is a chronogram. 
The numerical values of the letters are: B equal to 2; A to 1; 
G to 1000; D to 4; A to 1; and D to 4; total equal to 1012 
A.H., which corresponds to 1603 A.D. This according to Pro- 
fessor Yohannan’s certificate, would date the rug very early 17th 
century at the time of Shah Abbas the Great. According to the 
certificate it was in all probability woven for Shah Abbas. It 
was plainly a state rug intended for use in the throne room 
hanging back of the throne. It passed as a most cherished heir- 
loom from the royal family to the late Prime Minister Ali Asker 
Khan, and was presented by him as a mark of distinguished cour- 
tesy to Princess Lwoff-Parlaghy.
